Victims Compensation (VCT)

In New South Wales (NSW), if you have been injured during an act of violence, which may include Domestic Violence, assault, robbery or sexual assault, you may be entitled to an award of compensation.

Victims Compensation is also able to be claimed if you witness an act of violence or if you sustained injuries while trying to prevent someone from committing an act of violence.

In most cases counselling can be arranged free of charge along with reimbursement of some expenses incurred as a result of the act of violence.

Time limits apply.
